Orthogonal complement of $S$

Let $V$ be an inner product space. If $S$ is subset of $V$, then the orthogonal complement of $S$ is
$$S^bot =vin V vert (v,s)=0 text for all sin S$$
If $S$ is subspace of V then $Scap S^bot=0$. My question is that is it required that $S$ be a subspace of $V$?

No, it is true even if $S$ isn't a subspace.
Namely, let $x in S cap S^perp$. Then
$$|x|^2 = leftlangle underbracex_in S, underbracex_in S^perprightrangle = 0$$
so $x = 0$.
